•
Auxiliary master I2C bus for reading data from external sensors (e.g. magnetometer)
3.4mA operating current when all 6 motion sensing axes are active
VDD supply voltage range of 1.8 – 3.3V ± 5%
VDDIO reference voltage of 1.8 – 3.3V ± 5% for auxiliary I2C devices
Smallest and thinnest QFN package for portable devices: 3x3x0.9mm
Minimal cross-axis sensitivity between the accelerometer and gyroscope axes
512 byte FIFO buffer enables the applications processor to read the data in bursts
Digital-output temperature sensor
User-programmable digital filters for gyroscope, accelerometer, and temp sensor
10,000 g shock tolerant
400kHz Fast Mode I2C for communicating with all registers
1MHz SPI serial interface for communicating with all registers
20MHz SPI serial interface for reading sensor and interrupt registers
MEMS structure hermetically sealed and bonded at wafer level
RoHS and Green compliant
2.4 MotionProcessing
•
Internal Digital Motion Processing™ (DMP™) engine supports advanced MotionProcessing and low
power functions such as gesture recognition using programmable interrupts
In addition to the angular rate, this device optionally outputs the angular position (angle).
Low-power pedometer functionality allows the host processor to sleep while the DMP maintains the
step count.
